SC - Re: Pumpkins down under

[Michael Newton]

If you want to get technical nothing but the Mespotamia Area, Yellow River
valley in China. And I think someplace in India were truely found. It is all
in the Semantics of the word.
But I don't know of any Aboriginal cookbooks from period, Just like I don't
know of any American Indian/ Native American cookbooks from the time either.
And As we are a Euro-Centered Society For Creative Anachronism, When the
Europeans found new land masses is historically and historian speaking
correct.

But I understand what you were saying as well.
